Eyes Downcast, Spirit Uplifted - a photo on Flickriver

            This was one of 16 half-frame shots in a single session on one film roll. Commensurate with my expectations back then, I considered four were acceptable. Those were uploaded here some time back. However, three decades on I am discovering with pleasure that the series had a much higher success rate in terms of faithful capture of the physicality and personality of the lady, who became my adored wife. Now that she is no longer available for further sessions, a bit of inexpert post-processing has raised an additional eight (maybe nine) shots up to my gratefully lowered expectations.
